Uncle Silas by Sheridan la Fanu
While it was a little slow I did enjoy this book. It had some rather enjoyable characters and was very atmospheric. There was a doctor who recommended to the young girl that she read, "Confessions of an Opium Eater" which I took to be very good advice and promptly read while finishing. I did feel sorry for the French nurse who just wanted to drink and tell ghost stories. And I found the end to be quite surprising. Enjoyable, but I'm not sure I'll rush out to read any of his other novels.
